COFFEE.

There is needed a rich soil, plenty of
water and perfect shade; for the cot.
fee plant cannot stand direct sun.rays
any more than cold. Just before the
rainy season, seeds are planted in Pc
culiar diagonal lines, so as to give
about ninety trees to the acre, and
given over to a farmers care for five
years. He at once plants banana trees
beside them; which answer a double
purpose of shading the tender growth
and Of producing quick returns. Mean
while, the slower growing bucare,
which is permanent, is planted, and by
the time the coffee is large enough to
bear, is ready to shield it for life. The
owner now takes possession Of his
estate and it begins to yield, continue
ing for thirty years or more, with an
average annual product of ten pounds
to a tree. About the middle of March
it is in full blossom, bearing a pretty,
white, daisy-shaped flower, with half a
dozen lanceolate leaves and a delicate
perfume. The fruit or berry, contain
ing two face like chesnuts in a burr,
r1pens early in autumn, when it is
picked, husked, sorted according to size
and quality, and sent off to market in
sacks OF from 125 to $50 pounds

PLAIN FACTS FOR FARMERS.

If Secretary Lamar is correct in his
diagnosis of the ailment affecting the
South, then we are bad off indeed, and
growing worse. If the people con
sumo more than they produce
for several years, they will
certainly reach bankruptcy. There
a be no doubt about that.
Let us consider how the matter stands
in the Piedmont belt. Here we buy
everything made of iron. Even the
agricultural implements are all kept
ready-made in the store. The old
fashion blacksmiths are passing away.
On al ordinary farm the only black
smith work done is sharpening ploughs
and shoeing horses, and the shoes and
the nails are bought from the store.
All clothing is bought, and in the case
of men most of it is ready-made.
Nearly all of our leather and leather
goods come from abroad. Our house
hold and kitchen furniture is not made
in this State. Many farmers to-day
will sit down to dinner and eat bacon
from Chicago, molasses from some far
away place, and if they use vinegar it
comes from some chemical shop in
New England. Take a plough hand
as he drives ahead to-day. His plough:
stock is made in Georgia, his plough
in richmond, his names in connecticut,
his trace chains in P~ittsburg, his. cot
ton plough line in Massachusetts, and
his mule comes from Kentuckey. Sec
rotary Lamar was not far in the wrong.
Now what does the average farmer
sell to replace the money paid out for
his supplies. If one would watch our
depots at this season of the year he
would be forced to come to the con-
clusion that he sells absolutely nothing,
for the out going freight trains are all
empty. They come loaded with ba-
con, flour, corn, goods, machinery and
implements and return empty. Now
and then a bale or two of rags may be
sent from our State, but that is about
all except the products of our cotton
mills. A few cattle are occasionally
shipped from our upper counties.
Then cotton is the only thing our
farmers ship abroad to replace the
money they have to pay for every
thing they need. The question as to
whether we are spending more than
we make is still unanswered. It
would be well if our department of

however, to sustain his theory that
the Clay blood is the only trotting
blood so aptly illustrates the mode Of
argument followed by the essayists
who attempt to distort facts so as to
fit their theories that it may be worth
while to advert to it at some length.
The instance Mr.. Huntington gives is
Sultan, and Sultan is descended in the
right male line from Henry Clay, but
but a glance at the pedigree of Sultan,
which 1 append in tabulated form SO
that it really shows what is in it, dis
closes the fact that in addition to the
Clay blood, Sultan inherits the blood
of Hamiltonian through two strains,
the blood of Mambrino Chief, and Of
Pilot, Jr., through II each, and
probably a double eros. Of the blood
of Vermont Black Hawk, and that
each of these strains are closer up than
the Clay strain.
The pedigree is az follows:
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1887-07-28

agriculture would approximate the 40.
tual facts of the case, so that the neo
pie may ascertain how bad off thew
are.
1t is not wise or manly to grumb1o
but it is well to look our condition
squarely in the face. No sick man
ever takes medicine so long as NO
thinks himself we'll, neither does ono
reform in life while he thinks himsolf
good enough. The farmers in the IN.
per part of the State need plain facts
and plain talk. They have it in them
to rise from the present depression
and become successful and thrifty
farmers.-Ners and Courier.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1887-07-28

Now it is claimed by the advocates
of running blood in the trotter that
the one-fourth of running blood which
enters into the composition of these
two horses is the source of all their
greatness, and the three-fourths of
trotting blood has nothing to do with
the result and this is in face of the,
fact that nearly five hundred horses
that have trotted inside Of 2:3O trace
IN the second generation to Hambleto-
MAN, who in each pedigree occurs n
generation closer than Boston and
lexington respectively, to whom COM
plned seven $50 trotters trace in the
second generation.

Tor THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
FLOODED TROTTING HORSES.

I had intended this week to criticise
and comment on the article from the
pen of Mr.. Ralph huntington, which
appeared in The FARMER of July :,
but have concluded not to do so from
the fact that the only dangerous
theories he advances are so absurd as
to carry in themselves their own con-
futation, and also because [ really be-
lieve a dash of Clay blood in connec-
ton with the blood of one or both of
really great trotting families is not
without value. You see George Wilkes,
St. Julien Lucy and Electioneer all
had a dash of Clay blood and no blood
that enters, however slightly into the
composition of such horses as these,
can be considered absolutely worth
less. One of the instances he gives,

~DEHORNING DAIRY STOCK

It is astonishing what a peaceful
effect it has to remove the horns Of o
herd of diary COWS. There is no more
ramming of the weaker by the stronger,
The weaklings do not stand TREMBLING
in a corner when the DULLES come
around. 1t may hurt the COW some to
saw off her horns, but so do her horns
hurt others when she goes at them full
drive. It is doubtful if the pain of
dehorning is greater than the hurt of
having a pair of sharp horns run into
the side. In case of dehorning there
is only one hurt but there is no end
Of hurts from hooking when the horns
are left on. The best way to get rid
of the horns is to remove the button
like process on the head of the calf as
soon as it appears. This stops the
growth of horns and saves all further
annoyance. 1t is often suggested that
all dairymen should breed polled ami,
mails this is absurd. 1t would take
a long time to supply the entire country
from the stock on hand to be used as
a foundation. Besides, the polled
COWS are not equal to some of the
breeds having horns. Why should
we throw all the good qualities of the
horned breeds for the sake of getting
rid of the horns, when the horns can
be so easily removed ?-U. s. Dairy,
man.

Newly set fruit trees should have
the ground about them kept clean and
mellow.
Of the 1000 grains of an egg, lO7
are of shell, 6O4 of the white and $50
of the yolk.
Nice. clean poultry, properly fat
tened, always sell readily and at a
good profit.
Dairymen say some milk will soul
faint cream, and that will make in
ferior butter.
A colt once stunted never gets over
the effects. In fact the remark applies
as we'll to all animals.
An exchange says every young AMI
NAL will be the better for a little lin
seed oil and the old ones also.
In most cases where the best Of food
is abundant, the sale of the poorest
COW will increase rather than diminish
the profits.
An eastern farmer says he does not
know of anything finer than a good
OK team, and that when ever you see
one you see good crops.
No stock respond better to good
care and feeding than sheep +; and
when we'll fed and cared for, no stock
is gentler and pleasanter to handle.
A healthy Buff Cochin chicken will
eat seventeen ounces 296 grains OF
food per day. A brown Leghorn four
ounces 1913 grains. Of nine different
breeds the Hamburgs give the largest
number of eggs.
The Rural New Yorker says: We
have grown many varieties of the COW
pea at the Rural farm and several OF
them not only make a s~tupendous
growth of vine but fruit early and IN
great abundance.
Whenever it is noticed that the hogs
eat gravel, it is a sign that something
they need is lacking. A few pieces OF
coal or charcoal will probably be a
cure while the food at the SAM time
should be varied.
The feeding Of sour slop or tel.
mented grains may cause disease. fe'
such food is fed regularly, though
there is always a risk in feeding any
kind of food that is not sound or III
the best condition.
1t has been demonstrated that calves
pay better when kept until ten OF
twelve weeks old than when sofa do
soon as born. They will give a return
